US regional land casino group Delaware North has signalled its intentions to enter the retail and mobile US sports betting sector in several states by signing an exclusive partnership agreement with turnkey retail and mobile sports wagering services company Miomni Gaming.
Delaware executive Brian Hansberry said in a company statement Wednesday: “In working with Miomni, a recognized expert firm on the technology side, Delaware North is uniquely positioned to become a leader in the emerging sports wagering sector in the United States.”
The statement went on to explain that initial plans are to launch sportsbooks and online sports wagering at Delaware North’s two West Virginia casinos, Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack and Mardi Gras Casino and Resort.
West Virginia is the latest state to have legalised state-regulated sports betting after the Supreme Court overturned PASPA earlier this year (see previous reports).
The agreement makes Miomni the exclusive sportsbook platform and technology provider for Delaware North including in expansion plans to states which legalise sports betting now and in the future, and see further business opportunity and potential in B2B deals with other operators.
The Delaware North casino group is active in the states of Arizona, Florida, New York, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia and Arkansas. It is a “hospitality conglomerate” with additional businesses, operations and assets in nearly 40 US states.
Miomni is no stranger to the gambling industry, and has worked with Caesars on a mobile sports betting app for use in Nevada, where it has held a technology supplier licence since 2014.
